After the talk we’ll meditate...

Letter from the Chair of the College – February 2025

Dear Order members and friends,

In 1949, when visiting Bodhgaya for the first time, Sangharakshita wrote a poem called ‘The Birthplace of Compassion’. Now, seventy-five years later, on the centenary of his birth, I send this letter from this very place, where around 800 members of the Order that Sangharakshita went on to found, are gathered for an International Order Convention.

Looking Ahead to 2025

Next year will mark 100 years since Urgyen Sangharakshita was born. This is not just a large number; it’s an opportunity to reflect on the impact that one lifetime can have on the world, and particularly the world of Buddhism.
